They are a disgrace to their sisters and have given the women's movement a very bad name in recent years. Trouble is, it is normally the nutters who shout the loudest...and these hairy crackpots have been given a platform to do so for far too long now. How can we stop them?

No, you are completely wrong. There are many, many individuals who use that term - normally individuals who think independently and walk their own path and are not afraid to speak the truth instead of saying what sounds right and fashionable...basically my kind of people.

Any examples you have in mind? But I don't think it can be stopped.

I've seen them on youtube. Scary shit because if there are really a lot of young women out there who feel the way these apparently do, God knows what is going to happen to men. My son is so appalled and is beginning to feel that all young women think this way. Fucking sickening!

I don't know what they are supposed to look like but I think I saw some being interviewed at Trump rallies! Funny thing is they looked more like Rosie O'Donnell than Melania and probably drive pickup trucks with confederate flags!

Yes, it's a real problem, and I've realised in recent months that it's more of a problem than I had previously thought. I used to think no one would ever make false accusations of rape, because why would they go through the ordeal? But it turns out they do.

However, every single one of them is making it harder for genuine victims to come forward, as are those who shame the genuine victims, and those who are quick to assume that all accusers are lying. It is made all the more maddening when some of those who shame victims claim to be victims themselves.

Defendants should be innocent until proven guilty; but victims should be considered to be telling the truth until proven otherwise. There is of course a contradiction there, but it is one that juries should sort out, not the media and certainly not members of the public reading through conspiracy and alt-right sites.
